Pension funds are often all considered not the best and should your employer have one the wisdom thereof should be reconsidered. This statement would not apply to where you have membership to a defined benefit fund.

Retirement Annuity Contributions

Contributions to an approved South African retirement annuity fund:

The greater of R 1,750; or

R 3,500 less qualifying pension contributions; or

15% of net income minus income from retirement funding employment

Care should be taken before you buy a retirement annuity fund on the basis of having the tax deduction. Some financial advisors claim that you will have the tax deduction and then later you find out that only a small portion qualifies.
